"What else could be more important than spending time with my mother?" Leia smiled innocently. Queenie felt relieved seeing her daughter like that. Ever since Leia lost her baby, she had been blaming them for not saving her child or her relationship with Brody. She might still be holding that grudge if not for Brody's accident. After the incident, Queenie could sense that Leia was growing apart from her and her husband. She wanted to mend the relationship, but Leia did not give her the chance to do so. It had been very long since Leia behaved so warmly toward her. Queenie thought that Leia had perhaps forgiven her. "Good girl. Come sit beside me." Queenie smiled warmly and patted the space next to her. Leia took off her slippers, reclined on the bed, and hugged Queenie's waist. She could not help but think of what was going to happen in her bedroom. Queenie felt Leia's presence beside her. She sighed when she thought of Bianca, who was still missing. "It would be so nice
Queenie turned around and wanted to get her phone to dial for emergency services when she caught a glimpse of the pool of redness in Leia's room. "Ahh!" She noticed the man lying in the middle of the pool. It was Wayne Blatt, the wanted criminal! Queenie's face turned pale, and her heart started to pound faster. She could not catch her breath, and she fell on the floor and passed out. Leia felt a thud next to her. She opened her eyes slightly and saw Queenie passed out next to her. 'Useless!' She thought. She continued to lie on the floor. Her surroundings were totally quiet, and her nostrils were filled with the thick stench of blood. The blood belonged to Wayne. She would have gone into the room and felt the blood turn cold with her fingers if not that it would be hard to explain her actions later on. Leia did not feel very comfortable, but she did not want to get up. Instead, she remained in that position and waited for her father to return. Meanwhile, Abel evaded all th
Jack sighed when he looked at the mess in the room. His eyes were lifeless, as though he had aged ten years overnight. "Did they bring Wayne's body away?" Luke asked. "They did," Jack said worriedly. "His jugular vein was completely severed by a sharp blade." That was the coroner's preliminary finding. When Jack saw Wayne's body, he could even see the bones inside. It was a gut-wrenching sight. Luke was not that interested in Wayne's death. He was so concerned because Wayne might have known something about Bianca's disappearance. Now that Wayne was dead, Luke had no other leads. His phone started ringing. He went to the balcony before answering it. "What is it?" The call was from Percy. "I've found the man you want. My men have just tied him up. Where do you want me to deliver him?" "Your house," Luke said. Ever since he found out that Xavier had harassed Bianca the morning she went missing, they had been trying to find the man. Xavier had hidden himself well, and it to
Xavier thought that he was quite pathetic. However, that was all because of Bianca. He looked at the stack of documents in front of him and considered carefully. Finally, he decided to spill the truth. "I only know that someone wanted to harm Bianca that day, but I don't know who the culprit was." "Tell me everything that you know," Luke ordered. He had already dispatched his subordinates to the ranch, and he would soon find out if Xavier was lying. "You can't imagine how powerful that person can be." Xavier glared at Luke with bloodshot eyes. "I've also been trying to search for Bianca ever since that day, but I've never managed to find her. Luke, if I can't find her, you won't be able to find her either." Xavier was quite confident of his methods, but he had not been able to find anything ever since Bianca was abducted. Luke narrowed his gaze and looked at Xavier. Xavier was not afraid. "That's all I know. You must be sending your subordinates to the ranch now, and they w
Nina was stunned when she saw that Percy had poured all the eggs into the pot. She stirred it with a ladle, covered the pot, and turned around to prepare the toast.The toast she prepared previously was only enough for her.Percy crossed his hands in front of his chest. The sight of her preparing breakfast while wearing an apron brought an unprecedented surge of warmth to his heart.Nina was preparing the salad and picked up her pace when she noticed his scorching gaze. She asked, "Is there any news on Bea?"Although she woke up late, she knew that Percy had gotten up and left after answering a call. She heard him mention Bianca and Xavier Tanner."No." Percy shook his head, and his gaze shifted to the bowl full of washed cherries.He stretched out his hand, picked two, and plopped them into his mouth. The cherries were big and sweet. They were delicious.Nina wanted to say something but hesitated.When Percy noticed her expression, he raised her eyebrows and asked, "What’s wro
Bianca listened carefully to his every word, unwilling to miss out on anything.She had a basic understanding of the drugs in front of her after Shanks’ explanation. She was a little disappointed to find out that these drugs would not cause much harm to the human body. After Shanks went through the basics, he went on to teach them how to operate the instruments without checking whether the two of them could keep up with his pace.Bianca was introduced to these instruments when she was in school. Compared to Eler, she was much more proficient. After Shanks assigned them a task, she mixed the materials and completed the purification process not long after.Shanks sniffed her end product and said as he nodded in satisfaction, "Not too bad. You’re done for the day."Bianca raised her eyebrows. Since she arrived on the Island of Despair, today was the first time she knew she could get out of class early. However, she was happy to leave. She took off her gloves, turned around, and walk
Eler nodded and said shyly, "It was so scary just now. Fortunately, Mr. Shanks was there to help..."Bianca's expression was calm when Eler mentioned Shanks again.She noticed how shy Eler would get whenever she mentioned Shanks. It was exactly how a 19-year-old girl would act when she had a crush on someone.Eler noticed that Bianca was silent. The thoughts in her mind were overwhelming her, so she blushed and asked, "Miss, you’re more knowledgeable than me. What kind of girls do you think Mr. Shanks likes?"Bianca shook her head to indicate that she had no clue.Abel had once mentioned that the reason why Shanks was helping him retaliate against Luke was that the love of his life died from the bombing of the Russian army.From that, she could determine that Shanks was a loyal and affectionate man. No other woman could hope to have a happy ending falling in love with him."Sister!" Amur walked in, his expression instantly changing when he heard what Eler said.Eler was taken a
Bianca did not want to be involved, but if there was no one to guide Eler and Amur, they would fall into a bottomless abyss.She said so much in hopes that Amur would not push himself into a corner.Amur's current physique and skills were far from enough to escape this place.Amur nodded, bent over, and said, "Miss, I understand."Bianca glanced at Eler, who was still crying. She nodded and said, "It’s time for lunch. Go have something to eat."Amur glanced at Eler and nodded. "I'll bring both of you some food.""Okay, thank you." Bianca thanked him.After Amur left, Bianca sat on the edge of the bed and silently watched Eler.Eler cried for a long time before noticing that Bianca was staring at her. She silently wiped her tears away."Miss..." She felt like breaking down again as soon as she spoke.Seeing her tears falling uncontrollably, Bianca grabbed some tissue and handed them to her. "Don't cry. Love is complicated but you’ll figure it out eventually.""Miss, have you
